Pearl sugar
Coconut flakes
Sugar oatmeal mix
Granulated sugar
Duration: 〜20 min
Preparation:
Mix the vanilla sugar, sugar, and the (room temperature) butter into a big clump. Then add the cocoa, oatmeal, and cold coffee. Use your hands to work the dough and make sure it's all mixed evenly. Take out a plate and place your garnish in it, then proceed to roll the dough into balls not too big, not too small. Put your balls in the garnishing to make sure it's evenly distributed on all of your balls. With your balls all covered, put them in the fridge to cool down.

your hands with cold water then we are going to move on to rolling our balls. You can either
do 12 big balls or 20 small ones. Make sure to wash your hands if they get too sticky this
should help rolling the balls. In a pan heat olive oil or butter when it's hot enough you may
add your meat balls make sure to move the balls around until each side is brown and it's
cooked all the way through. When they are done put them on a plate or foil to cool down.
